A force causes an acceleration of 10 m `s^(-2)` in a body of mass 500 g. What acceleration will be caused by the same force in a body of mass 5 kg?

Explanation

To solve the problem step by step, we will use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object multiplied by its acceleration (F = m * a).

### Step 1: Convert the mass from grams to kilograms
The mass of the first body is given as 500 grams. We need to convert this to kilograms because the standard unit of mass in physics is kilograms.

\[ m_1 = 500 \text{ g} = \frac{500}{1000} \text{ kg} = 0.5 \text{ kg} \]
